    Awhile back I bought a couple of cute dresses in my "goal" size (they were on sale..and I'm a sucker for a sale LOL!), so now they hang in my bedroom as motivation. I also have two pairs of jeans I bought that were VERY tight when I bought them that I'm looking forward to being able to wear comfortably :)

    Kind of different, but back in college I used to put a little mark on my hand with pen so that i would see it any time I was reaching for a snack or something. A little reminder. Hah. Now I wear a cute ring on my snacking hand. :P

    That is so cute! I love it :)

    This thread reminded me of those jeans I'd bought, so I decided to try them on today. And they fit! Woohoo! Wore them out to dinner with some girlfriends...guess I need new "goal jeans" lol

    The jeans in my profile photo hung on the back of my bathroom door since I started my journey and I fit into them yesterday!

    I also have a little, flirty dress I used to wear often hanging there. I will be VERY happy when I get back into it!!!

    I have a dress which I am yearning to buy. It's the screensaver on my phone. I want to lose a dress size (currently a 12-14, would be happy with a small 12).

    Whenever I get a craving to eat bread I look at that picture. I want to buy it in time for a wedding, which is in 7 weeks. So I'm going to try for at least an 8lb loss.

    The climbing wall at the gym. I have to pass it every day to workout, and that is my motivation. I want to increase my upper body strength enough to climb it.

    I have a denim skirt that I wore when I was 19 (looooooong time ago!!) It hangs with my other skirts and pants. This weekend I tried it on AND IT FIT!!! I am going to go get a pair of size 8 jeans for my next motivator.

    I started the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution 3 weeks ago and she suggested making a Vision Board. I took pictures of me in my bikini (pre babies) and also pictures of my kids and husband and I cut out words from a magazine like: GO, Fabulous, all star. I glued all this to a poster board and hung it in my Living Room which is where I do my workouts. Very inspiring!!!

    My belt. It's on the last notch. I can't wait to throw it away because it is almost too big.

    My physical motivation:

    Daytona675Side.jpg

    I ride it every single day, and there's nothing more ridiculous than a fat guy on a little (if stupidly powerful) bike. I mean...we all know that the wind blows our shirts up our backs. Love handles at that point are SERIOUSLY unattractive.

    Just sayin!

    :smile: I just ordered a dress from ModCloth. It is currently hanging on my wall staring at me. I love it because it asks me things like, "really ana one more day off from the gym?" or "You really gunna eat that?" It can also be supportive and says things like, 'I am going to look fabulous on you!!' :wink:

    My physical motivation are the medals and bib numbers from my 3 half-marathons and 3 half-ironmans hanging on my wall. Above them are my finishing times to track progress and to keep me moving forward.

    Also the beer in my fridge is very motivating...
